1. Read the official objectives first
Download the official objectives from Microsoft Azure and skim every line. The exam can only test what’s listed there, it’s the contract.
2. Weight your study toward Describe Azure architecture and services and Describe Azure management and governance
Together the top two domains are 73% of the exam. Practice them until your accuracy is consistently above 80%.
3. Drill weak domains, then take a mock exam
Use Domain Drill on your weakest areas, then a full timed mock at real length (40-60 questions, 45 minutes). Book the real exam when you’re consistently passing mocks, not before.

Is AZ-900 easy to pass?
AZ-900 is Microsoft's entry-level Azure exam and the most approachable, but it still expects precise knowledge, the difference between availability zones and regions, or between OpEx and CapEx, decides real questions. Most people pass with 1-3 weeks of focused prep.
How much does the AZ-900 exam cost?
$99 USD in the United States (pricing varies by country). Microsoft Learn also runs free Virtual Training Days that sometimes include an exam voucher.
Do I need AZ-900 before AZ-104?
No formal prerequisite exists, but AZ-900 is the natural on-ramp. If you're new to Azure, its concepts (resource groups, ARM, subscriptions, Entra ID basics) make AZ-104 study far smoother.
Note on domain weightings
Microsoft publishes weightings as ranges (e.g. 25-30%). The bars shown here use midpoints of the official ranges from the current AZ-900 study guide.
